I’m a little late for my Labor Day blog this week, um, I was laboring to get everything in our yard taken care of before the SNOW arrived on Tuesday. Yikes. Anyway, we’ve been laboring since February on building a garage in our back yard, then contouring, landscaping, and having sod laid on the property. It has been a lot of sweat and hard work, but we are pleased with the result and looking forward to having warm days (maybe not until next year!) to enjoy the fruits of our labor. When we moved in, the front yard looked pretty good, though the porch needed to be enlarged and one side of the yard needed work. The back yard was mostly a dirt lot with a couple of cement pads and lots of weeds. Not anymore! It is such a blessing to be married to a guy who knows how to do all that was necessary to ‘magically’ transform a barren wasteland into a beautiful and restful back yard and to have friends with backhoes and the selfless willingness to help (Thanks Cliff Smith!!)
